Acute flaccid myelitis in childhood: a retrospective cohort study.
Eur J Neurol
August 2017
Department of Neurology, The Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Background And Purpose: Clusters of acute limb weakness in paediatric patients have been linked to outbreaks of non-polio enteroviruses, termed acute flaccid myelitis (AFM). Outside these clusters, in countries where polio is not endemic, this poliomyelitic-like illness is rare in childhood and its natural history is not well defined. We describe presenting features, investigation findings and long-term outcome of a series of children with AFM.

Background: Poliomyelitis survivors suffer from post-myelitic complications including osteoporosis that are often overlooked.
Methods: We report a case of a 49-year-old lady with history of poliomyelitis with resultant flaccid paralysis of the involved limb.
Results: The bone mineral density revealed asymmetrical severe osteoporosis in the poliomyelitic limb.
[Development of gastrotonometry and the future of its use in the monitoring of critically ill patients].

Gastrotonometry conventionally enables the measurement of the partial pressure of carbon-dioxide (pCO2) in the gastric mucosa via the analysis of the filling material of a ballooned probe placed into the stomach. According to the data of the more than a half century long history of the method we may state, that the examination triggered an unusually large interest as well as was applied both in clinical work and in research. Since in the case of good circulatory circumstances the result of the examination is nearly equal to the value of the arterial blood pCO2, in the beginning the method was used for the better setting of ventilators of poliomyelitic patients with respiratory paralysis.

Purpose Of The Study: Knee flexion contracture due to quadriceps paralysis is a major handicap in poliomyelitis patients. The patient has to stabilize the knee with the ipsilateral hand to achieve weight bearing and the deformed knee precludes use of orthopedic devices. Extension can be achieved with supracondylar femoral osteotomy if the knee flexion contracture is less than 30 degrees.

Samples of single sera collected from 38 patients with different clinical diagnosis were studied in order to perform ELISA techniques with the purpose of detecting poliomyelitis IgG and IgM antibodies. The résults were compared through antibody titration by neutralization test. 21 pairs of sera from infants suffering from acute flaccid paralysis were studied by ELISA-IgM, ELISA-IgG and neutralization test.
